This escort quest ends in a pretty cool lore event concerning the history of the wildkin, check it out.

Leads to the quest "Wildkin of Elune." (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4902) Erelas wants you to go talk to the whiney Archdruid in Darnassus to share what you've found out.

One tip on completing this quest, let Ranshalla aggro the owlbeasts. She can take a hit or two, and if she isn't the one to aggro them, sometimes she just keeps walking while you're in battle, and can get into trouble by aggroing more of them.

You never have to fight more than one wildkin (level 56-58) at a time, so it's a pretty easy escort quest. It takes about 17 minutes for the whole script, for what it's worth.

possible as a 53 'lock. just let ranshalla take the initial aggro as stated previously, then send in void. also, have some potions handy as you'll burn through your mana re-casting resisted spells on the 58s. one at a time they're no big deal.

At around 56-57, you start running out of quests to do before hitting Outland content; most of them require you to run back and forth across the world a lot.

This one is probably one of the easier quests around that level range; you start at the house near the dock in the village by the Darnassus portal, you go to Winterspring and pick up ten easy-to-get feathers anywhere in the zone, you go back to the village, then back to Winterspring for an escort quest where there are no random spawns and you fight one mob at a time, then go back to the village again, and into Darnassus to finish.

While doing this escort, like an above poster mentioned, do the Enraged Wildkin quest chain that starts in Starfall Village. To the west of this escort quest, there's a camp with two objects to pick up, and you don't have to kill more than two or three oomkins to get them, then you just kill the oomkins that you were going to kill anyway while doing this escort for the amulet.

Comment by Cicci

pretty easy.. wildkins spread out good. Soloed almost too easily at lvl 56 frost mage... could have done this at lvl 55 or 54 even.

Comment by knivetsil

Agreed. If you make sure Ranshalla's the one to aggro the wildkins, the quest almost completes itself. I soloed as a 53 pally, and pretty much all I did was heal her. Also, it seems as if in each cave, she'll keep channeling until you light the torch. So if you're running low on potions, take that time to take a nap and restore your health and mana.

So, for the Hordies, does anyone want to post a spoiler on what happens in this escort quest?

Comment by Random0076

This may take your health down some so when whe is channeling at the torches she will continue to until u right-click it. This is a good time to eat/drink.

Comment by Lahiel

I dont know if this has already been mentioned, but i have two tips on completing this without trouble :D

- Let Ranshalla get aggroed and tag the mobs, if you aggro the she will just keep walking.The other tip is that when she is channeling and you are supposed to light the torches, you can take a break to eat and drink. I completed this with a lvl 55 warlock.

Comment by Returner99

If you aggro the wildkins(like any other mob on an escort quest) while standing close to her, she will get in combat as well and run over to beat on it. There's no need to wait for her to attack it, so ranged can just start nuking while making sure to stand next to her.

Ranshalla says: The altar is glowing! We have done it!Ranshalla says: What is happening? Look!Priestess of Elune says: It has been many years...Priestess of Elune says: Who has disturbed the altar of the goddess?Ranshalla says: Please, priestesses, forgive us for our intrusion. We do not wish any harm here.Ranshalla says: We only wish to know why the wildkin guard this area...Priestess of Elune says: Enu thora'serador. This is a sacred place.Priestess of Elune says: We will show you...Priestess of Elune says: Look above you; thara dormil dorah...Priestess of Elune says: This gem once allowed direct communication with Elune, herself.Priestess of Elune says: Through the gem, Elune channeled her infinite wisdom...Priestess of Elune says: Realizing that the gem needed to be protected, we turned to the goddess herself.Priestess of Elune says: Soon after, we began to have visions of a creature... A creature with the feathers of an owl, but the will and might of a bear...Priestess of Elune says: It was on that day that the wildkin were given to us. Fierce guardians, the goddess assigned the wildkin to protect all of her sacred places.Voice of Elune says: Anu'dorini Talah, Ru shallora enudoril.Priestess of Elune says: But now, many years later, the wildkin have grown more feral, and without the guidance of the goddess, they are confused...Priestess of Elune says: Without a purpose, they wander... But many find their way back to the sacred areas that they once were sworn to protect.Priestess of Elune says: Wildkin are inherently magical; this power was bestowed upon them by the goddess.Priestess of Elune says: Know that wherever you might find them in the world, they are protecting something of importance, as they were entrusted to do so long ago.Priestess of Elune says: Please, remember what we have shown you...Priestess of Elune says: Farewell.Ranshalla says: Thank you for you help, <name>. I wish you well in your adventures.Ranshalla says: I want to stay here and reflect on what we have seen. Please see Erelas and tell him what we have learned.

I timed around 14 minutes. That is with l60 shaman.Long but easy quest. With nice show at the end.

Comment by Gerg1616

How can I to ignite the torches? PLS Help me

Comment by Dorean

Make sure that you DO NOT light the torches before she starts channeling. I did this and she just gets glitched and stands there channeliing so you have to restart the quest.

Comment by AngeL1

If you are a rogue and you don't want to wait until lvl 57 or 58 just stealth and wait for her to aggro the wildkins. After that try to keep them stunned and also try not getting the aggro on yourself... Did it as a lvl 53 rogue. The quest is really cool i recommend doing it mostly because of the ending.

Comment by leopoldbloom

soloed as a level 53 hunter

just keep up aspect of the viper and don't do too much damage or your pet will lose aggro. otherwise, it was pretty easy,

Comment by Alea

i'm level 52 and i got this quest while turning in Find Ranshalla. hmm.

Comment by Aldronel

how do you light the torch for her?

Comment by moogledrink

Running around on my Horde toon when I saw her being escorted by an Ally. Remember if your on a PvE server not to attack Ranshalla as she IS flagged for PvP. Show some curtsey Hordies since being an escort quest it's probably long and I doubt the Ally doing it would want to be doing it again just cos a renegade Horde decided to plow his axe into this lovely's head. There's people behind the toons. ;)

...slice her to ribbons tho if your on a PvP server, and the Ally escorting her. :D

Comment by stderr

Soloed as a 54 rogue. Just keep hidden and cheap shot them as they come, too easy.

Comment by Conciliator

Stumbled upon this chain, and did this part as a 58 balance druid. This is a great little quest; not difficult, enjoyable, and best of all includes some interesting little snippets of lore about the origin of wildkin. I felt like I was pursuing an understanding of my moonkin druid's ancestral past :). There's five caves, you have to right click on a torch in each cave as she's casting, then do the same for the altar at the top. Highly recommended.

Comment by Schnerps

Nice lore quest but does anyone else find it odd/funny/disturbing that basically you go through this whole quest and find out that the Wildkin are sacred guardians and you just got done slaughtering all of them?

o_O

Comment by clemm

Does not count for Loremaster. Skip this 15 minute quest.

Comment by jax95bronco

As of 10/21/09 it does count for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by jimmyego

Bit odd that after all this wonderful lore is revealed, the completion quest text from Erelas Ambersky is a terse "Did you meet up with Ranshalla?". I suspect one of you is desperate to use the lavatory and couldn't really get into the details of the Wildkin's history as magical guardians at this tiem.

Comment by Jilliene

She walks soooo slow..

Comment by Phrizlicious

Of course she moves slow, it's an escort quest.On another note, if you pick this quest up and lose track of her it doesn't flag as failed but will not work. You will have to abandon and pick it up again.

Guardians of the Altar

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Protect Ranshalla while she attempts to reactivate the Altar of Elune. Report your findings to Erelas Ambersky in Rut'theran Village.

Discover the secret of the Altar of Elune

Description

At the very top of the ridge lies what I believe to be an altar of the goddess Elune. From what I can tell, we need to light the five torches in each cave, and then we will be able to access the altar directly.

I transcribed some incantations carved into the stone in the ancient ruins of Kel'Theril, which I believe are the secret to unlocking the altar. I'll need your help to light each torch, while I recite the spell.

If we are successful, you'll be able to report our findings to Erelas!
